DESTIN – A woman who said her ex-husband cursed at her was accused of grabbing him by the hair of the head and snatching his head back, lawmen say.

The alleged incident is said to have occurred at Lucky’s Rotten Apple Lounge in Destin, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.

The two were seen arguing on video surveillance. The woman, “without provocation,” grabbed her ex-husband’s hair and snatched it back, “causing his head to abruptly move backwards,” the deputy wrote in the arrest report. The incident was also seen by a witness.

When the woman was shown the video, she said, “So what if I pulled his hair.” She also said, “He was cursing at me so I grabbed him by the hair. That doesn’t give him the right to punch me.”

She was charged with misdemeanor battery and has a Feb. 4 plea date.
